Download and read online ebook And Then We Danced write by Henry Alford. This book was released on 2019-06-18. And Then We Danced available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. “Captivating…equal parts memoir and cultural history, Henry Alford seamlessly interweaves heartwarming and hilarious anecdotes about his deep dive into all things dance” (Misty Copeland, The New York Times Book Review). When Henry Alford wrote about his experience with a Zumba class for The New York Times, little did he realize that it was the start of something much bigger. Dance would grow and take on many roles for Henry: exercise, stress reliever, confidence builder, an excuse to travel, a source of ongoing wonder, and—when he dances with Alzheimer’s patients—even a kind of community service. Tackling a wide range of forms (including ballet, hip-hop, jazz, ballroom, tap, contact improvisation, Zumba, swing), Alford’s grand tour takes us through the works and careers of luminaries ranging from Bob Fosse to George Balanchine, Twyla Tharp to Arthur Murray. Rich in insight and humor, Alford mines both personal experience and fascinating cultural history to offer a witty and ultimately moving portrait of how dance can express all things human. And Then We Danced “is in one sense a celebration of hoofer in all its wonder and variety, from abandon to refinement. But it is also history, investigation, memoir, and even, in its smart, sly way, self-help…very funny, but more, it is joyful—a dance all its own” (Vanity Fair).

This book was released on 2022-03-07. We Danced available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This memoir shares the early, troubled years of the author's wife and transitions to their first meeting, relationship, and marriage. A woman with low self-esteem found courage, comfort, and support and dared to dream again. Friends and family often referred to their marriage as a romance meant to be. Frontotemporal Dementia, FTD, interrupted that love story. The author devotedly cared for his wife until her passing. He weaves in journals, letters, and posts and lays bare their life through her incurable disease. Throughout much of the book, the author offers dementia mileposts, tips, and observations to assist those struggling in their own journeys. While dementia will differ person to person, many will find similarities to their own experiences. The book serves two purposes as both an aid to those in a dementia care partner role but also as a love story.

This book was released on 2015-04-07. Why We Dance available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Within intellectual paradigms that privilege mind over matter, dance has long appeared as a marginal, derivative, or primitive art. Drawing support from theorists and artists who embrace matter as dynamic and agential, this book offers a visionary definition of dance that illuminates its constitutive work in the ongoing evolution of human persons. Why We Dance introduces a philosophy of bodily becoming that posits bodily movement as the source and telos of human life. Within this philosophy, dance appears as an activity that humans evolved to do as the enabling condition of their best bodily becoming. Weaving theoretical reflection with accounts of lived experience, this book positions dance as a catalyst in the development of human consciousness, compassion, ritual proclivity, and ecological adaptability. Aligning with trends in new materialism, affect theory, and feminist philosophy, as well as advances in dance and religious studies, this work reveals the vital role dance can play in reversing the trajectory of ecological self-destruction along which human civilization is racing.
